My very first place when I was 18 was about 500 feet from ASUs campus and it was a one bedroom with all utilities included for $475 a month and that was in 1996, it's crazy because the electric bill alone in the summer would have been at least $200 if it wasn't included. By the end of college I lived in a much nicer complex in Old Town Scottsdale about 500 feet from all of the bars and I had a 3bd 2ba apartment for just me and it was $1250.

Rented a house with 4 other guys. I think we each paid ~$150 per month. It's amazing how cheap I lived those days.

1st place: $375/mo for my part of a 4 bedroom apt - University House Brightside

Last apt: $1200 for a 1br - Southgate
Last place: $1250 for a 1250sqft house - Southdowns

All in BR. The rest of the 10 years I spent in BR were somewhere in between those. Moving into the house by myself was well worth the cost

I just graduated. I rent a house for 900 a month. Considering it's less than five years old not too bad. Also a 3 bedroom.
